Now that I got your attention, this is not about a wife, truck or tractor, but rather a car. The backstory: In 2021 I bought a new Kia Soul Ex. Good price point, lots of standard amenities and just a comfortable fun little car to drive.
Last week at 8000 miles the automatic transmission needed replacing. Kia honored the warranty and I already have the vehicle back with a remanufactured transmission same model as the one which failed.

I have lost confidence in the car because I see no reason for it not happening again. In addition this model year is also prone to engine failure to what degree I do not know. I am looking for your perspectives, knowing there are bound to be some service techs lurking here with inside information, how common is this in the auto industry, was it a poor installation during the build or have you had a similar experience with your vehicle, did you stay or go?
